| SR Tuning Discs, Psychoacoustic Bias and Listening Fatigue @wesheadley As I said in my previous post, I was making no accusations against you. The subject of our discussion is one that tends to generate dismissive and mocking comments, which I find unpleasant and inappropriate. I feared you might misunder... | |
| SR Tuning Discs, Psychoacoustic Bias and Listening Fatigue @wesheadley You seem to be conflating three distinct points. First, unconventional tweaks or other system components not grounded in scientific theory or results are likely bogus. I disagree on two counts. First, the world is a mysterious place an... | |
| SR Tuning Discs, Psychoacoustic Bias and Listening Fatigue @wesheadley I can’t agree with your point. I belong to a large audiophile “club” including folks with vastly different preferences, tastes, expectations and biases. So, I’ve seen hugely different responses to new audio experiences, particularly in... | |
| Retirement System Finally Completed: Impression of the Mola Mola Tambaqui @ghdprentice FYI: you also can access the great courses on video. I get the channel through my prime account for eight bucks a month. | |
| Power cord upgrade @tkrtrb125 @mclinnguy I have no problem with the church of the naysayers contributing to discussions initiated by questions about whether a cable replacement will improve the sound of the OP’s system. The question invites their perspective. Bu... | |
| Just upgraded to Fiber Optic feed ( 500Mbps) from Spectrum (250 Mbps) OMG @tom8999 The bldg I live in was wired with FO several years ago. The modem/router they supplied performed quite poorly, so I immediately upgraded to the Calix combo when my provider offered it. It greatly improved the audio/video signal delivered ... | |
| Need Opinions for Different Cable Manufacturers/Cable Designs @kinarow1 I have extensive experience with DHLabs cables and you can’t go wrong with them. Great bang for your buck! In my experience, you can do better if you spend more. I also have used Audience ICs; in my system, they sounded thin and I resol... | |
| Decisions, decisions, decisions @bipod72 I had Vandersteen 2CE signature IIs for a number of years before moving into a smaller home, where the listening room simply would not accommodate them. I auditioned a boatload of stand mounted speakers at that time. One of my favorites w... | |
| Does it have to sound good for you to like it? i think it misleading to suggest that love of music and love of sound quality are antagonistic. I don’t deny myself enjoyment of any music. If I love it, I listen to it. But, I do limit the recordings I listen to in my main listening room to well ... | |
| Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range? Consider Reference 3A. Like you, I like a detailed, but relaxed presentation of rock and roll, and the R3As suit me quite well. | |
| Example of a piece o’ crap, useless review I’m not saying there are no audio reviewers out there worth reading, but I haven’t read a review since Moncrief and Enid quit publishing the international audio review. They went well beyond what most reviewers were doing while they were active, a... | |
| if you had this system, what would you do to make it sound the best you can I strongly encourage you to optimize the system you currently have before you consider replacing any of your major components. I would do the following, in this order: 1. Boot the equalizer 2. Optimize speaker placement and listening position. ... | |
| Cable Break In for the Naysayers I really don’t understand why these arguments continue. Why do the two camps care about the “experience”, “perceptions” or “biases/expectations” of those in the other camp. If you don’t accept cable break in as real, why even open this thread, let... | |
| I want to replace the router/modem Comcast with a high quality for streaming @mitch2 see my response above | |
| I want to replace the router/modem Comcast with a high quality for streaming Sure. The fundamental improvement it offers when compared to the other routers I auditioned is a very significant reduction in the noise floor. I hear all of the musical benefits one would expect from a darker background: deeper and more realistic... |
